Level 4

Andrew grew up in the Herndon and started hockey with the Raiders is 2002. He played for Herndon high school in the fledgling NVSHL. After high school, he went to Western Michigan University. He tried out but ultimately did not make the college teams. Andrew then moved on to adult leagues. He was part of a team that reached the finals of the state tournament of Michigan for adult hockey (non-check). After moving back to Virginia, Andrew has been playing in adult leagues in Reston and Ashburn. The coaching bug started during summers home from college. Andrew helped coach at the summer fun camp teaching kids how to play hockey. The experience was rewarding and fun but stopped when full time jobs started. Eventually after a few years, the urge to coach grew again. Coaching certification was obtained and in 2014 Andrew joined the U19 Girls blue coaching staff. So far during Andrew's coaching tenure the team has achieved: 2 undefeated regular seasons, 2015 CBHL Champions, and 2016 Southeast district finalist. Andrew will have a level 4 certification this year. This will also be his first year as a head coach. Hard work, hustle and attention to small details are what helped Andrew along his path and he plans on sharing that with his players. The joy of playing the game is vital. Growing players on and off the ice is important as with a student-player balance. Players will be expected to work hard on and off the ice. Andrew wants to push the team to compete at a high level while maintaining an enjoyable atmosphere.
